“word to the wise” wednesday: nicholas stern

 Set the bar high for quality, as opposed to cramming in as many things as possible within your budget.  Thoughtful design and solid craftsmanship are what give a home its soul.

— Nicholas S.G. Stern, New York contractor on his advice to renovators (Elle Decor, September 2012)
